Can't find folder where tracking cookie is??

I guess it has been a while since I posted here. Sorry about that. But I become members of forums when I have a problem that is listed on that particular forum. When problem fixed I forget and then when another problem arises I come back. Hope I have not been removed.

I am using Windows XPHome SP2 IE7 and I have the free AVG Anti-spyware 7.5 installed. I just got done running a scan and it found a tracking cookie. It finds the same tracking cookie each time I run the scan but I am not able to find it. I have all files and folders unhidden but nothing. This is where the tracking cookie was to be located:

C:\Documents and settings\Compaq_Owner\Cookies\Compaq_Owner@com[1].txt

I went to C/documents and settings/compaq_owner but I have no cookies folder listed. Where oh where could it be at now

I read other threads here before posting and someone said why worry about a cookie.....Another one said tracking cookies should go. But what happens when you can't find it Any help out there for me

Already did that. I ran the scan with all hidden files shown and then before I had AVG delete it I looked for it so I could delete it manually. Like I said in the first post I went to C:/documents and settings/compaq_owner and when I opened up compaq_owner there was nothing listed. Is it okay to just have AVG not track cookies and that way this will not show up again. Or is this a NO-NO. I would really like to find it first. Don't know where else to look. Where exactly is the cookie folder on one's computer?

Try looking at C/documents and settings/compaq_owner/Local settings/Temporary Internet files. Where you will find cookies depends what browser you use, each browser has its own place to put its cookies.
